GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON FASHIONS AND DRESS.--Some autumnal mantles have already appeared, and seem likely to become fashionable. Some of cashmere, lined with white satin ; others of black taffetas, lined with coloured satin ; but as nei ther are wadded, they are sufficiently light to be comfortable, withent being oppressive. Those of the first- kind hare drab grounds, with rich cherry-coloured detached patterns. The round of the mantle and the deep pelerine are edged with cherry-coloured velvet. The collar, which descends in the lappet style, is also of velvet, and the pelerine open and looped on the shoulder displays a large sleeve. Mantles of black taffetas are lined with rose, blue, or cherry-coloured satin, a broad band of which trims the fronts ;, it diminishes in breadth as it reaches the top, wher e it i s rounded off in the shawl style. Wide sleeves looped at the bend of the arm ; a double pelerine of the fichu form, which, as well as the mantle is trimmed with broad black lace. We must observe that the skirt is suffi ciently short to display a little of that of the robe. Muslin robes are giving place very fast to silk ones at our fashionable watering-places, but we cannot say that the latter as yet afford any novelty in the make. They arc of quiet colours : we have observed some new shades of brown, gray, and green. Summer hats and bonnets have entirely disappeared ; they are replaced by the autumnal ones we described last month, and by those of satin, with the crowns trimmed with feathers, and the interior of the brims decorated in a novel style with riband. We see also a good many bonnets of fine Italian straws : those of the hat shape hare quite disappeared. The brims of these bonnets are larger than those of silk ones ; they are trimmed as the hats were with velvet and flowers ; but, generally speaking, the contrast which the hats often af forded of very light summer flowers with full coloured velvet is not seen, corn flowers and others of rich hues being the only ones adopted. Some half-dress materials have already appeared both in mousselines de laine and in a mixture of silk and cashmere wool. The latter are in arabasques on a white ground, and, in our opinion, rather showy than elegant. We have noticed among the former some with a dead-white ground, and a square formed by a coloured stripe as narrow as a thread ; it is either red, green, blue, or marshmallows. The centre of the square is figured. Some others of a white ground and very small bouquets of wall flowers, appeared to us pretty, and very appropriate to the season. Some of these dresses, made with crossed draperies, and sleeves a la Gabrielle, have the draperies and also the bands and knots of the sleeves of velvet. is certainly well calculated for materials of this kind; hue what shall we say to its being adopted for the lightest muslin robes? We announced some time ago its in troduction as trimmings for them : the mode increases every day in favour, for as yet muslin a n d organ di e are t h e on l y ma terials adopted in evening dress, and probably will be the only ones till the winter has fairly set in. We must observe, that where velvet is employed in the trimming of a dress, it always makes part of the ornaments of the coiffure. It has also, in a great degree, replaced neck-chains. The prettiest ornament of that kind is a very narrow velvet riband, either black, violet, or pouceau, which, encircling the throat, forms a knot of four coques in front, in the centre of which is placed an ornamental agreffe, a pin, or any other fancy bijou. If the fair wearer wishes to add a cross or a Jeannette, she attaches a second velvet under the knot, and it falls as low as the centre of the bosom. Pins are at present a very favourite article of jewellery. We have lately seen several equally novel in the design and the form. Mosaics and cameos are most in request ; there is indeed quite a rage for the former. Coloured jcms come next, mounted so capriciously, that they may be worn even in the most simple style of dress, without having an air of pretensio n . Thus we see little branches of fruit or dowers, the effect of which is exceedingly pretty—a bunch of grapes formed of small rubies, with gold foliage, a tuft of forget-me-nots in turqoises, and daisies in gold and pearls. Fashionable colours are cherry red, emerald, and Pomona green, ecru straw, and several shades of lavender, rose, and blue. ( From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.) MORNING WEAR.—The peignoirs of muslin are replaced by white, or very light coloured merinos, bordered with a wide coloured velvet, the ceinture to match of velvet, or sometimes of a thick silk cord, with large tassels ; the cap worn with these dresses is of spotted tulle de sole, of the bouillon form, orna mented with a simple bow of black velvet. WALKING DRESS.—Robe of white jaconot, and spencer of violet velvet ; the body plain, and the sleeves of a moderate width at the top, but tight at the wrist, and buttoned ; ruche of tulle round the throat. Bonnet of blue satin, very close at the ears. CARRIAGE DnEss.—Robe of grin lsvantine ; the corsage is up to the throat, and tight, with folds laid on from the shoulder to the centre ; the sleeves are of four bouffants. Bonnet of paille satin, ornamented with China- asters and tulle ♦eil. Col broche of tulle, confined by a cameo brooch. EVENING DRESS-Robe of pink you de soie, with a small black running pattern all over, the corsage is quite plain, finished by a band of velvet at the top; the sleeves are of a single bouffant, formed by it deep wristband ; epaulets and cuffs, of black lace, beaded with velvet. Two flounces of black lace on the skirt, with headings, and ceinture of black velvet, with long ends. gLEETES. —The grand question stiil is upon the new form of the sleeves. The most simple arc large, confined above the elbow by a band or riband ; a very deep plain piece flattens the sleeve on the shoulder. MANTELRTS.—The Maintenon mantelets will be worn ; they consist of a kind of long pelerine, having a large collar, fall ing square on the shoulders. CLOAKS.—The form of cloaks is rather undecided. With the return of flounces, short cloaks will necessarily be. worn ; they will be of velvet, satin broche, without sleeves, with a double collar, trimmed with fringe or lace, and without cein ture. The long ones, on the contrary, will have sleeves, without pelerines, and will be confined at the waist. The short cloaks will be principally confined to carriage wear. Postscript.—Our latest accounts from Paris announce the appearance of winter materials, of which worsted and silk as sume their priority. The colours named are grin, black, gi rofle, and different shades of ecru. Velvet supersedes every thing; all the redingotes for autumn have biais of it, and flounces, even of the lightest materials, are edged with velvet. The bandeau and plain hair are to be abandoned this winter, and short frised curls resumed. (From the iVorld of Fashion.) MORNING CAPS.--The prettiest, in our opinion, are those of tulle bouillonne, with long loose lappets of the same mate rial ; they suit admirably with a Jeannette suspended at the throat by a narrow black velvet. , There is something of rusti c coquetry in this costume , particularly if the cap is trimmed on each side with a knot of rose-coloured velvet, or satin riband. HALF-DRESS CAPS.—The most elegant are of denteille de soie, fitting close to the head, except on the crown, where they rise rather high ; the front consists of a double row of that light and elegant lace, arranged in the crescent form on one side, put low on the other, an d a l most meet i ng un d er t h e chin. A light sprig of flowers adorns the front, and velvet bands arranged with much taste decorate the caul. a HATS AND BoNNETs.—Satin begins t o b e i n reques t f or both. Hats are more becomingly made : they remain of the same size, but the curtain a t t h e b ac k i s replaced by a portion of the brim turned up, which shows the neck to more advan tage ; a roll of riband pla ce d un d er t h e b r i m m i ng l es w i t h t h e curls of the hair; the crown is adorned with feathers. (From the Lady's Magazine and Museum.) TOILETTE D'AUTOMNE.—Dress of sole chinee (clouded silk ) ; the corsage is made to fasten at the back, with a little fulness at the lower p ar t, th e f ront i s d rape, not i n t h e sty l e o f the Sevigne corsage, but with four deep plaits or folds coming from the shoulder to the centre of the waist in front, where they meet ; these folds are made in the corsage, and not put on, and are lined with stiff muslin to prevent their sitting too flat. Sleeves tight to the arm all the way down, with a seam on the outside like that of a man's coat. In order to carry off the ex cessive plainness of the sleeve, three flounces are put on at top ; they are rather deeper on the outside of the arm than on the inside, and are cut the cross way of the material ; they are edged with a narrow lisere or piping ; the sleeves are finished at the twig with a piping, and have neither wristband nor cuff. The bottom of the dress is ornamented with t,vo flounces cut on the cross way, and with a lisere at the edge. Hat of poux de soie, ornamented with satin riband and black lace. The front of the hat is very large, but does not sit very close to the face; it is evasee at top, and forms a round; the hat comes down low at the sides of the face, where it is rounded off. The crown is quite en capotte, the silk being in a single piece and brought into form by folds ; the bows, which arc very full, and intermixed with black lace, are placed quite at the left side ; they are finished with three long ends of riband. Underneath the front of the hat is a puffing of riband, finished at the temples by small bows, and a narrow fall of black lace goes immediately across the brow, a bow of ribands with long ends is placed over the bavolet or curtain at back ; the riband that ties the hat under the chin is different, from that in the bows, it is called the ruban dentelle, and has a lace pattern on it. Hair in smooth bands ; cambric collar trimmed with work ; white gloves ; black shoes of drap de soic. DINS,ER DRESS.—Dress of black poux de soie; the cor sage made low en cceeur ; it sits perfectly tight to the bust, and is without drapery. The skirt of the dress is ornamented with a tolerably deep flounce, cut out at the edges in dents de loup (mitres) ; it is put 'on with a heading of black velvet riband, and the dents are edged with the same. Scarf man telet of black satin with a pattern of flowers, in embossed velvet, clown the sides ; the mantelet is trimmed all round with a deep black silk fringe. The hair is divided at the sides, which takes it entirely off the brow ; the front hair brought in smooth bands to a level with the eyebrow, it is then braided and turned back behind the car ; the back hair is in three high toques or bows, one formed of a braid ; they are placed round the bosom of the dress. The cambric frill of the chemisette appears ; black velvet riband round the neck with a gold hent and cross. Hat of white satin, the front large and evasee ; it is trimmed with ponceau ribands, and has a bouquet placed on the left side to match. White kid gloves. We understand that it is in contemplation to bold a county meeting in Northumberland, on or about the 10th of October, for the purpose of considering the propriety of adopt ing the eastern line of railway betwixt Newcastle and Edin burgh. The general opinion now seems to be that applica tion must be made in the next session of Parliament for an Act authorising the Railway betwixt Newcastle and Berwick, and up from this town to Kelso_Berwick Advertiser. m uRDE R.—Con the 22d inst., an inquest was held before Thomas Thomas, Esq., Coroner, at Ty Newidd, in the parish of Cadoxton-junta-Neath, in this county, on the body of a new-born female child. After an investigation which lasted the whole day, the jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the mother of the child, named Gwenllian Curtics, of Pwllfaron, in the same parish, who has dis appeared.... Cambrian. THE SUN, LONtiON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4. 183 G. REFORM DINNER AT HALIFAX. HALIFAX, FRIDAY NIGHT.—The Reformers of Halifax and the neighbouring country dined together to the number of about 800 this day ; of course no one room could contiin them, but the Old Cock was the head quarters, and parties were assembled at ten or twelve other hotels and inns. After dinner, however, the company assembled in a spa cious temporary structure, erected in the Woollen Hall, the interior of which was elegantly and appropriately decorated, and the gallery of which was crowded with ladies. The coup (Pail was then indeed magnificent, there being present at the lowest calculation 1,200 persons. At six o'clock the Chair was taken by J. Ackroyd, Esq., and amongst those present were Mr. Wood, M.P., Mr. Protheroe, Mr. Baines, M.P., Mr. Fielden, M.P., Mr. Blackburne, M.P., Mr. Gully, M.P., Mr. Gaskell, M.P., Mr. Walker, M.P., George Bins, Esq., Royston Stone, Esq., W. Bousfield, Esq., John Holland, Esq., H. Cavendish, Esq., 'William Greenwood, Esq., J. Hodgson, Eq., Samuel Wood, Esq,, H. Dawson, Esq., James Simpson, Esq., &c. &c. The usual loyal toasts having been given, The CHAIRMAN said that the toast he was about to give he was sure would be greeted by them with the utmost sa tisfaction. It was the health of those Gentlemen who at the present period represented them in Parliament.— (Loud cheers.) He trusted that they would long continue , their Representatives.—( Loud cheers.) He next proposed " The health of Messrs. Wood and Protheroe."—The toast was received with loud and enthu siastic applause. Mr. WooD, 111. P., rose amidst renewed cheers. It was now two years since he had the honour of addressing them ; the last time he had the honour was when the Tories; in op. position to the wishes of the people and to the opinion of the majority of the House of Commons, had by an act unpre dented in the history of the country seized upon the Go vernment—but the result as regarded them was that which they anticipated. They had been defeated upon every ques tion they proposed, but they held fast the reins of govern ment until they were placed in such a position as compelled . - - them from shame to relinquish them.—(Hear and cheers.) He had acted up to that period as an independent Member of the Legislature. When, however, that party at length was driven from the Government, and the present Admi nistration took office, he had taken the situation he now held, and had become a member of it. From the period to which he had alluded he could claim no merit, for all persons connected with a government must in some degree sacrifice their opinions upon party questions, and he litelsonly to bring before them the measures introduced by the.:Go vernment with which he had the honour to be conaicted, since to be a supporter of such a Government was his best claim to their support.—( Hear.) No one lamented more than he did that many of the measures of the present Go vernment had not been brought to a successful termination ; but still he thought that this feeling of regret and disap pointment had been expressed in too strong a manner in other places where the subject had been alluded to, because he thought it most unfair to say that the Reform Bill of 1832 had not produced effects equal to the most ardent wishes of its supporters.—( Hear.) He would not detain them by adverting to all the measures that followed the passing of the Reform Bill, but he would notice a few of them. There was first the great measure of the BanF . Chat ter, by which the public obtained amended terms from the bank ; next, that which opened the continent of India to British enterprise : then the Act that abolished church cess in Ireland, but above all, that splendid measure, the passing of which reflected the greatest credit to this country —he meant the Bill by which slavery was declared to have ceased for ever—ceased to exist in this empire.--( Hear, and loud cheers.) He admitted that in the subsequent years which followed the passing of the Reform Bill, less had been done for the cause of freedom, but they must recollect that during two of those years there had been constant struggles between the advocates of contending principles, and when such contests were proceeding, but little benefit to the cause of the people could ensue. But even here they could look back with something of satisfaction ; for in the year 1834 they were relieved from that odious impost the house tax.—(Hear, hear.) Another Act had passed the Legislature, which was considered to be one of the most beneficial that had ever passed the Parliament of this country—he alluded to the Poor Law Amendment Act. Since that, by another measure that had been passed, nine towns out of ten in England had deeply felt the blessings conferred by the Municipal Reform Act. In the last Ses sion of Parliament they had much to regret, but they bad also great cause for triumph. They had put an end to that cause of discontent and bickering, the tithe in England. They had put an end to that which bad been a subject of much complaint and great inconvenience, the want of civil registra tion.. They had put en end—not so well, perhaps, as might have been wished—to the grievance of the system enforced . by the Marriage Act. Among other things done last ses sion there was one of great triumph—the extermination of a political society, the most turbulent in opposition and the most tyrannical in power that ever degraded the annals of this country, and whose members, with loyalty ever on their tongues, disregarded the Monarch unless he consented to become a tool in their hands, and the creature of their in tolerant bigotry. (Continued cheers.) The amount of taxation which had, however, been reduced since the Whig Government came into power was six millions. (Loud cheers.) He would not detail the ameliorations as regarded. the Customs' duties, but content himself with asking whe ther the Reformers of England had not much reason to be proud of what they had achieved in obtaining the Reform Bill ? (Loud cheers.) He would ask them, taking this and other measures into calculation, to compare the Legis lature of the last four years with that of the forty years which had gone before, and then, from the result, to say in which the greater progress towards improvements had oc curred ? But he had dwelt only on the brightest side of the picture ; he could sincerely wish that both sides were alike ; but unfortunately the contrary was the fact, and he had now to direct their attention, not to the measures which the present Government had been enabled to carry, but to those which they had vainly endeavoured to make the law. (Hear, hear, hear.) That they did not become the law was not either the fault of the Govern ment or of its supporters. (Hear, bear, hear.) The Hon. Member then adverted at some length to -the Irish Muni cipal Corporation Bill, and to the rejection of it by the House of Lords on the ground that the Roman Catholics were incompetent to the management of the affairs of the boroughs, and observed, in continuation, was it not asto nishing that any body of men should say that a man was incompetent to decide that his streets should be Macadam_ ized, or that they should be lit with oil or gas, because he happened to address his praying to the Saints ?—( Hear and laughter.) It was really almost too absurd to believe this to have been the case, but such was the fact. How did .the Lords deal with the next Bill sent up to them, that for the reform of the Irish Church. The Government and the majority of the House of Commons asked for nothing extra ordinary in that Bill—they asked not that the Church of Ireland should be overthrown—not that Catholicism should be established—not that Protestantism should be put down, but that, on the contrary, it should be strengthened by giving the people an interest in those very revenues which ' they contributed to pay ; they asked that a portion of he revenues of that Church should be appropriated—not to Catholic education alone, but to a limited system of which all might take advantage—a system devised by the fervent and best supporter of the Protestant Church in Ireland, Lord Stanley.—(Hear, hear.) Yet this Bill they also re jected.—(Hear.) A third measure was that for the amend ment of the registration of voters. The Government had always declared that they were willing to amend any ob jections to the machinery of the Reform Bill ; and ac cordingly a Bill was sent up to the House of Lords, to re medy the defects in the working of the Act. There were other measures that had been destroyed, but he would not detain them by farther allusion to them. Such, however, was the conduct of a large minority in the House of Com mons ; such the principle acted upon by the Tories in the House of Lords, and such would be the conduct and such would be the principles of any Tory Government, if ever again they had a Tory Government in this country.— (Hear, hear.) He wished, as a sincere Reformer, to press on them the extreme impolicy of urging forward such a question as the Reform of the House of Lords, a question upon which they were not all agreed. There were many old men amongst them ; but there were none so old as that they could not profit from the experience of the past. He would ask them to look back to the circumstances of the last six short years, and they would find what effect dissentions and disunion amongst parties had produced ? The Tories had been united before the year 1828, and they were thus ena bled to hold their power undisputed and absolutely ; but what had occurred ? They hal fallen out on the Catholic question, and the consequence had been that their power bad tottered for a year, and that their disunion had effected their dismissal from office in the year 1830.—(Hear, and cheers.) Again they united when the Reform Bill was in troduced by Earl Grey, but the Reformers united also, and their efforts were too strong for their opp.)nents.—(Loud cheers.) In 1834, however, an unfortunate; and he wo uld say an unreasonable, difference of opinion had occurred amongst the Reformers, and that disunion had, as had been often attested and acknowledged by the Tories, led to dismissal from office of Lord Melbourne's Administration, when Sir Robert Peel boasted that his hopeF of ruling were founded upon his opinion that this dissension would conti nue, but the reformers were too wise for him ; they had been taught a lesson of which they derived the benefit, and by again uniting they had once more driven the Tories from office.—(Cheers.) And he would now ask, from the evi dence they all possessed, upon what basis was it that the Tories founded their hopes of a return to office ?--(Hear.) Upoh the hope that they would be able to effect another disunion amongst Reformers.—(Hear, hear.) They were well aware that diAnsion was the signal for the downfal of Liberal Government, and for the triumph of Conservatism; and he would ask would the Reformers of the empire be so unwise, so foolish, so impenetrable to their own interests, as to play the same for their opponents ?—(Hear, and cheers.) ' He was sure they would not do so.—(Cheers.) He was sure that they too well knew their interests to be betrayed into the snare. He was sure that their principles and practice would be an unity of opinion and of action ; and in asking them to observe such an union he asked them not for any sacrifice of principle ; Le should be ashamed to do so at any price. All he asked of them was to unite strenuously and firmly to procure those beneficial measures which were for the common good.—(Cheers.) Let those who pleased hold their own opinions, but let the efforts of all be united and combined to gain from the common enemy that which would be for the common benefit.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The events of the last Session hid shown that his Majesty's Ministers were disposed to go as far as they cculd in the introduction of measures beneficial to the country ; they had the will, but the power was wanting. From whence did that power arise ? Ask the Tories, and they would tell them. They had said, " We differ from you—we might perhaps yield to a large and overwhelming majority not exceeding thirty, and it diminishes at every election." This was the argument of the Tories ; and he would ask, what was the answer to it ? Increase that majority. He depended 'span the peo ple to do so. It was an old Whig principle that the people were the only 4ource of power.—(Cheers.) And by the , Reform Act that principle was reduced to practice,_ (Cheers.) They were not only the legitimate but the ac tual source of power. Sir Robert Peel had admitted this when he said that no man could rule this country unless he had a majority in the House of Commons. Thanks to the Reform Act, such a majority no longer depended on the support that might be given or withheld by this or that bo roughmongering Lord to the Government; it now depended on the great body of the people themselves. The power now rested with the people themselves, and, unless they exertedlt s .it was useless for them to call on the Ministers to bring forward more decided measures into Parliament. They must not call on those who had no power to aid them ; that power rested with themselves, and unless they exercised it to their own advantage the fault rested with themselves. Sooner or later an appeal must be made to the nation. He trusted that the next election, come when it might, would prove that the people of England had not been deceived by the vain and futile promises and repre sentations of their enemies ; but that they had justly appreciated the course of passing events, and by their efforts would place a majority of their representatives in the House of Commons, who would. give to the Mi nisters of the people = for it was the people who bad created those Ministers—the power of carrying such mea sures as the people desired and wanted.--(Cheers.) He now addressed the electors of Halifax, and be thought he could ask, without any fear of contradiction, whether any indivi dual in supporting him with his vote at the last election, had any reason to think, from any statement of his, that he was a .sptstibrter of any of these questions ?—(Hear, hear.) . He had frankly declared what he thought respect. ing them, and4iad concealed no opinion which he had after wards manifested ; and he would say, that whatever might be the. sentiments of any of those present in regard to those measures, lie did not think there was one who considered that tie, on the occasion to which he alluded, had given them reason to believe that his opinions were other than they now were.—(Hear, hear.) But he had felt that the accusations directed against him were an imputation upon his honour, and if lie had any one claim more than another to their conislence, it consisted in his never having concealed from them any opinions which he conscientiously held ; and they might rest assured that he would act up to them firmly and honestly, let the result be what it might ; but beyond that he should be sorry that any persons should suppose that he took that opportunity of making the opinions he held tell more for those who agreed with him than against those who differed with him in opinion. He had no such object ; he considered that it was well known that upon the questions to which he referred he differed from many of them ; but the fact was, that those questions were adopted by Reformers, because they considered that their being car ried would lead to an increase of popular liberty, not from the intrinsic merits of the questions themselves. Now, the reason why he opposed those questions was, not because be was opposed to the extension of popular liberty, but be cause he did not consider that if they were carried they would lead to the results which the class of Reformers to which he alluded supposed they would ; and if any person would refer to the report of the proceedings when he had delivered his opinions, it would he seen what he had then stated, and that his opposition to those questions did not arise from his wish to contract popular liberty, but because he considered that those measures, if they became the law, would not have the effect anticipated from them.—(Hear, hear.) Why, then, had he taken that opportunity beyond all others for declaring these opinions? It was because be considered that he had incurred great obligations to those who joined the Radical party in Halifax : they, in con junction with his other friends, had supported him stre nuously and zealously throughout the last election, and without avowing at that time opinions different from theirs, that party might have considered his sentiments to be dif ferent from what in fact they were, and that he conse quently opposed the questions of the ballot, household suf frage, and annual Parliaments, because he was opposed to the liberties of the people. He would not, however, now detail at length his reasons for opposing them, but he most positively , considered that if he were opposed to them, it was not because he wished to militate against the liberties of the people, but because he differed with some of his friends who maintained that such measures would be bene ficial.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. PROTHEROE was received with much applause. Since last he had the honour of addressing them his senti ments had not changed. He had certainly not become a Tory—( Hear, hear) —nor had he taken an immoveable station amongst the Conservative Whigs—(Loud cheers) ; —but at the same time he had not associated himself with those who have been described as going the whole bog.— ( Hear.) He, however, hoped that in combining the prin cipal c haracteristics of Whig and Radical, he would secure to himself the esteem and support of the majority of the electors of that borough. It had ever been one of his maxims that the Government of the day ought to extend the political power of the people in proportion to their in telligence. Those who perished on the field, or on the scaffold, contending for liberty and the right of thinking as they pleased on religious subjects, were intended to serve as examples. When he supported the Reform Act, it was not because he thought it would destroy the insti tutions of the country, but because he thought it would tend to support them.—(Loud cheers.) He per fectly concurred with their representative in his views of the great benefits that had resulted from it. He had not been an idle spectator of the late proceedings in Parlia ment ; but it would argue bad taste in him to occupy their time after the able and intelligent statement of their repre sentative on the subject; and it would be equally indecorous in him to dwell in detail on those proceedings, seeing they were rendered of no avail by the Lords.—(Hear, hear.) Many persons thought Ministers should adopt measures to introduce a chance in the House of Peers. However such a measure might be deprecated, there was no one that could not perceive that the House of Lords had been guided and governed by principles entirely opposite to those of the House of Commons. It became a matter of serious re flection for them to consider well the course they might have to pursue, in the event of the House of Lords adhering to the same line of conduct they had recently displayed. He was aware, when speaking on the subject, he was treading on delicate ground, and that were a Conservative present, he would anticipate that he was about to create a theme of discord ; in that, however, he would find himself mistaken. He (Mr. Protheroe) had alluded to that delicate question because he knew and felt that the Whigs and Radicals did not differ as to the grand object they would attain. They at least agreed in one grand principle—that what the people of England had deliberately determined on must, and he would add, should receive the assent of the House of Lords.— (Loud cheers.) To accomplish that, however, demanded a fixed and determined unanimity of purpose. He did not despair b u t th at a ll t h e d ou b t w hi c h ha d b een ra i sed i n h i s mind, in common with every Reformer, would be removed by their own exertions. He did not think that the ma jority was so great in the House of Commons as to in duce the House of Lords to bow to measures which some changes.—( of the M em b ers of that House m i ght th i n k were organ i c Hear.) He doubted that if they were to attempt to change the Constitution, that the constituencies of this country laboured under many disadvantages.— (Hear, hear.) To those who differed from him he would be glad to address a few observations. It was some years since he voted in a minority of ten or twelve on this ques tion ;but still he did not think that it had made such pro gress in this country as to warrant the Government, par ticularly as they were not sure that they would get the consent of the whole people, to such a change.—(Hear, hear.) But looking at the prospect before them he did not despair. The battle of the Constitution was to be fought in the House of Commons—( Hear, hear)—and con sequently it was in the Registration Courts that the power of the electors lay.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of " Lord Melbourne and his Majesty's Ministers." The toast was received with the loudest testimonials of approbation. Mr. WOOD, in returning thanks, could say with truth that that Administration would ever be the strenuous and intrepid adv oca t es o f t h e r i g ht s o f t h e peop l e , un i n fl uenc ed by any difficulti es or any opposition.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. GASKELL proposed the healths of Lord 1\ forpeth and Sir Georg e Strickland. If they looked back u pon the last few years they would perceive that many good !TIT sures had passed' the Lceislature, owing to thcunanirni of Reformers. H e h a d no doubt but if that unanimity were continued more good measures would yet be passed. The toast was drunk amidst appfause. Mr: G. BINNEY proposed " The health of John Black burn, M.P., and Municipal Reform throughout the United Kingdom." Mr. BLACKBURWE returned thanks, and took a review of the labours of the municipal commission, which, he said, had been appointed when Lord Melbourne was Secretary of State for the Home Department. The result of the labours of that commission was laid upon the table of the House of Commons during the administration of Sir Robert Peel, who, instead of expressing his determination to act upon it, said that it should be taken into consideration.--( Hear.) The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to urge upon Re formers of all kinds the propriety of acting in union. He said there ought to be a Reform in the House of Lords. His Hon. Friend said, " No, it would subvert the Constitu tion." In this, however, he disagreed with him. It was of great importance that Reformers should not quarrel with each other, and by so doing assist the career of the enemy. lie thought the extension of suffrage ought to be given to every person whose extent of knowledge would enable him to make a correct use of it, and that the sittings of Parlia ment ought to be of short duration. The Hon. Gentleman, after a few more observations, concluded by again thanking them for the honour they had done him. - The next toast was " The health of Mr. Baines, M.P." Mr. BAINES returned thanks. N Several other toasts were given, and speech es ‘ made by Mr. Gully, M.P., Mr. Fielden, M.l'., MP; Akkroyd, Mr. Beaumont, &c: &c., when the company separated. IRELAND. ENNISKILLEN PETTY SESSIONS. In reference to certain proceedings which, if truly re ported, reflect but little credit on the individual Magistrate, who played so conspicuous a part on the Bench at the Ses sions, the Erne Packet remarks—" We have before now witnessed some curious scenes in the Petty Sessions Court —but that on Monday surpassed them all. An officer at tends the court with some of his men, to assist in investi gating the truth of certain charges. He gives his testimony calmly to a part of the case in which he is more immedi ately concerned—and forthwith a Magistrate, Captain Gabbet, steps completely out of the case, and before a crowded court, seeks to lecture and insult that ycung gen- jeman by insinuations on matters totally foreign to the sub ject of inquiry, and when remonstrated with by his brother magistrates, pertinaciously persists in his unhandsome inu endos, not only against the officer present, but the officers of the British army in general. And what could possibly be his motives ? Aye, his motivesthe reader must guess." The Court-house was crowded at a very early hour on Monday last, in consequence of the interest attached to the further proceedings designed for the re-establishment of tranquillity in this town. Some of the soldiers of the 46th Regiment attended pursuant to orders. The nature of the evidence which they gave may be gathered from that of John Gilmore, a private, who deposed that on the night of the 12th inst. he was coming up the town with two comrades while the tattoo was beating-- when near the church-wall, three persons darted out of the dark lane adjacent, and looked into the faces of witness and the other two soldiers, and made use of some threaten ing expressions. Witness and comrades when arrived at the corner of Barrack -street, found the street obstructed by civilians, so that they could not pass. The civilians were singing out " To h— with the Pope—No surrender," &c. &c., one of them, in particular, looked up into witness's face and said, " D— your heart, I say No Pope," or a similar expression ; another caught witness by his cross belt from behind, and endeavoured to throw him, but did not succeed, as the shoulder-strap broke ; was also struck by a stone thrown from Carmichael's corner. Witness was standing outside the crowd when struck by. a stone in the side. He knew none of the persons that assaulted the soldiers. The latter had not given any offence. Witness did not draw his bayonet, nor did he see any other soldier do so. The soldiers were not able to pass until Sergeant Gilmore interfered. Thinks that the stone was thiown designedly at him. The evidence of J. Devlin, another private, was next taken, when Mr. Gabbet significantly asked, " Did I see You in gaol some time back ?" But it was when Lieut. Lacy appeared to give his.evidenee that Mr. Gabbet exer cised his magisterial functions so admirably, as the following extract from the report of his sayings will show : Captain Gabbet—Were you in uniform on that occasion? Mr. Lacy—No, I was not ; but I am confident they i knew me. ._ _ _ . ..-.. Captain Gabbet—Oh, but it makes a material difference not being in uniform. Major Burke—What ! And is it an excuse that a gen tleman should be assaulted, because he happens not to be in military uniform! Mr. Lacy—l am quite confident they knew me well ; I am confident that every officer in barracks is known to those persons whether in uniform or not. Captain Gabbet—But officers are in the habit of going out at improper hours and to improper places, and— Major Burke (with warmth)—l beg your pardon, Mr. Gabbct, these remarks are irrelevant and uncalled for. lam surprised, on this Bench for a magistrate—indeed I must say that I cannot listen to such expressions. It is, Sir, unnecessary for you to become monitor to gentlemen of the army as to the disposal of their hours or private conduct. The other Magistrates also denoted their disapprobation. Captain Gabbet—l have no wish to hurt the feelings of officers, or be their monitor, neither is it necessary for you, Sir, to become a monitor to me—but I say that officers, particularly young men, are much in the habit of frequent ing, at late hours, places of— Rev. L. Reade—l beg your pardon, Captain Gabbet ; - - I am not a military man, nor connected with the military ; but, Sir, I atm a gentleman, and certainly shall not sib on this bench to hear gentlemen of the army wantonly assailed and insulted. Mr. Gabbet said he should not be interrupted, and in sisted on being heard out. He was again proceeding with his offensive insinuations, when the Rev. Mr. Reade and Major Burke immediately took their hats, and declared if Mr. Gabbet should thus persist, they would not remain longer on the bench, and both gentlemen instantly withdrew. Captain Gabbet—" Indeed I don't care whether you do or not." Thomas Nixon—" Nor shall I remain." Captain Gabbet, endeavouring to detain Mr. Nixon— " Where are you going—don't go." Mr. Nixon, firmly—" Oh ! no Captain Gabbet, I shall certainly not remain, I cannot. Such expressions were un called for." The three gentlemen, Rev. Mr. Reade, Major Burke, and Thomas Nixon, Esq., evinced their sense of their own dignity, as well as their opinion of the delicacy, propriety, and decency of the conduct pursued, by instantly retiring ; Mr. George Spear, however, remained. After some time the three gentlemen took their seats on the bench in the Record Court, and proceeded in the inves tigation, which had been so very becomingly interrupted. After a lengthened investig ation, the Bench declared _ _ themselves quite satisfied that the riot was not commenced by the soldiers, but there seemed to be some points of minor difference in the opinions of the magistrates, and they retired to prepare their decision. The 46th Regiment have received a letter of readiness to march from Enniskillen to Dublin. It was expected they would be replaced here by the 96th from Scotland, but we observe by a Dublin paper that the 12th, now in Dublin, are under orders for this town. DREADFUL COACH ACCIDENT.—A serious accident oc curred, last Tuesday, to Bourne's mail coach, near Rath kealc, unattended, however, we are glad to find, by any fatal results. It took place when driving down a very steep hill, which is situated at within less than a quarter of a mile distance from Rathkeale—the horses having, in despite of the exertions of the driver, taken bead, and on getting to the end of the declivity, where there was an angle in the road, they ran with such desperate velocity and violence against a wall of about eight fret in height, that the coach was upset. The driver was thrown with great force right over the wall into Beechmont demesne, and, besides contusions and other injuries, had his c ollar -bone broken. The guard, who had alighted, and was endea vouring to stop the horses, was caught b e tween the coachand the wall, and received some dreadful bruises, particu larly about the head. In consequence o f* being of a full temperament, serious fears were entertaine d of his recovery, but after being copiously blooded and o ther medical assist ance having been administered to him by Dr. Hanlon, r, wh o promptly attended,le got considera ble relief. 'here was, fortunately, but one passenger hurt, and he escaped with out having any bones broken. The kindest attention was paid to those injured by Mr. Howso n and Miss Lloyd, of Beech mont, who sent out wine, &e•, to a lleviate their 'sufferings. It is but justice to the dr iver to state, that no bl ame h as been attributed to him on the occasion ; b u t i t i s hoped that in future a drag m y be put on wh en coming down those high hills. Weed, some step s h ould be taken by the contractors to remove those very steep and dangerous hills which are constantly to be met on the South of Ireland roads. One of the horses has, we h ave heard, since died from the i n juries he received, and another is greatly maimed. T wo of the musical party going to rvianchestcr, who upse t in the Peveril L ondon and Manchester coach, are v i . — „- g . we ll ; but the coachman, it is reported, is dead, making the second loss of life from this accident. Lablache and Ivan hoff are quite recovered from the slight hurts they received from their upset.' Th e escape of Assandri was singular. She was under Lablache, who, after the first shock, asked if she was injured. She made no . reply, and the ponderous singer, with great presenca of mind, extended his arm, broke the window, and managed to raise himself above Assandri, who had fallen with her mouth on the cushion, and who then exclaimed that one minute more would have Suffocated her.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS We are not fond of deceiving our readers by exag gerated statements, and we have therefore always spoken with much hesitation on the subject of the public feeling regarding Peerage Reform. We find that we have greatly underrated the intensity of that feeling. From all parts of the country we receive in telligence daily from authorities on which the utinort reliance may be placed, that a deep-rooted conviction is everywhere entertained that a change must -take place in the constitution of the House of Lords. The people have become persuaded that not only can no really important measures be expected so long as the ; Lords remain unreformed, but that the country is ex- posed Co imminent danger from the effects which col- lision may produce. • We have just seen a letter froth an unwilling witness, who has been some time on visit in Scotland, and whose soundness of judgment is as unquestionable as his means of infOrmation are ample, in which he declares that " there is a tremen dous feeling on the subject of Peerage Reform all over Scotland." We deemed it prudent in a matter of such importance to • speak with caution,• and even with .hesitation. But, with the evidence which we now possess, we are warranted in saying that if • the Lords have " sown the wind " they will " reap the whirlwind." We should be ashamed of the people of England if we could for a moment be lieve that they could regard with any other feeling than that of derision the .miserable ravings of that once effective advocate of Liberal opinions, but now con temptible organ of Toryism, the Times. The plain • good sense of our countryme n is not to be baffled by mystifying the question with vague declamations against " submerging the entire State, by the mere pressure of barbarous numbers and blind undirected force ;" by as surances in " the aristocratic branch of our Constitu tion are chiefly comprehended the invaluable characte ristics of stability and self-controul," and the evils of " everlasting movement. There is a short and pithy thato answer to all this nonsense and gabble effect T e t Reform Bill itself, and every measure for giving Bill, have been opposed by the Peers. We ex torted the Reform Bill from their fears, not from their sense of justice ; and we only obtained the modification of Corporation reform, to which they gave their consent, from their belief that the Commons would spurn the mu tilated measure. They oppose all reform, defend every' abuse, and appear to be imbued with the spirit of hatred towards whatever promises to conduce to the im provement and prosperity of the people of these kingdoms. And what have the people in return for this patronage of whatever is evil, and hostility to all that is good ?* The advocates of the Peers them selves now abandon the foolish theory of De Lolme and Blackstone of three powers, and admit that the supreme power cannot be divided. They admit that before the Reform Bill that power which is now con-. fined to the Lords prevailed in both Houses. Though they do not say so in terms, the consequence to which their conduct can alone point is the recovery of their - • lost ascendancy in the House of Commons, by bribery, by intimidation, by sowing divisions among Reform ers, and other means committed by that personage between whom and the devil a connection was so hap pily pointed out by Lord Melbourne. The only be nefit which the people can derive from a second branch of the Legislature is more mature deliberation, by hay ing all measures discussed by two assemblies. The pub lic impatience may sometimes be beneficially checked by the necessary delay which the discussion in two Houses must interpose between the origination and final decision of a measure, to say nothing of the advan tage to be derived from the renewal of deliberation in a fresh assembly. But these advantages are quite recon cileable with such . a reform of the Peers as would imbue them with feelings not opposed to those of the nation, and a sifirit not dissimilar from that which ac tuates a majority of the representatives of the nation. Mr. Henry Lytton Bulwer accounts for the singular and very rash conduct of the Peers, in provoking the strong hatred of the people, by supptFing them to en tertain the project of obtaining a majority in the Com mons, by sowing divisions among Reformers, by which they might destroy reform, and consequently get rid of collision : " The conduct of the Peers," he says, " has been singu lar and so very rash, to all appearance, that I cannot help thinking, even after I have allowed much for Lord Lynd hurst's natural levity and recklessness, that there must be some design in it which has not as yet been generally per ceived ;—I ask, therefore, what that design can be ? The whole danger and only cause of perdition to the Tories and the Lords is our majority in the Commons. It is evident, therefore, that one of the principal objects in any policy they pursue must be to convert that majority into a minority. " Let us suppose, then, Lord Lyndhurst in council, and haranguing those whose discussions he is to lead—what might he say?— 'There seems to me, my Lords, two advantages in this daring course, which I, in opposition to what has been said by my Right Hon. Friend (hem!), the Member for Tam worth, advise and adjure your Lordships to pursue. In the first place, we thereby give heart and spirit to our friends, and make them feel that we are not merely direct ing a skilful retreat, but boldly contending for open victory. In the next place, we are sowing dis . sensions, of no undan gerous nature, in the camp of our atrocious enemy ; for, ob serve, my Lords, if by this course we do not excite any outcry against your Lordships, then evidently we triumph, and may presume that the country will shortly back our efforts. But, supposing, which is far more probable, I grant you, that we do excite this outcry, what follows ? Why, some of those reprobates called Radicals, who feel none of that respect and veneration which your virtues and your wisdom (bowing to and are so well quali fied to inspire—these persons, borne away by the ardour of their ungovernable natures, will cry at once.for violent mea sures of organic change in your Lordships' House. "Is this not to be feared ?" you will say, perhaps l Not at all ; because from that moment the band which now hangs over and awes us as a majority sinks into two antagonist mi norities. Thus, happily, the arguments which were used for changes in the Constitution (smiling sarcastically) will be over, and the two Houses agree as of old! My Right Hon. Friend at the head of a majority in one House, and my unworthy self, your Lordships, at the head of a ma jority in the other, conducting harmoniously the affairs of state, and enjoying those high situations which, looking at. our various qualities, it would be ungrateful not to acknow ledge that Providence designed for us.' " Mr. Bulwer admits that " the game thus played is a dangerous one ;" but " if," he observes, " on the other hand, our anger against the Lords—pushing some further than others—divides •and separates us ; then, indeed, Lord Lyndhurst may get a majority in his favour out of that very question—Peerage Reform, which he has excited." The whole strength of our argument against the Lords," he proceeds to observe, " lies in our majority—in our majority which carries measures in the Commons that are rejected by the Lords ; thus the Constitution cannot work—thus legislation is paralyzed—thus our Constitution becomes a dead letter. ,‘ But just suppose we have not the majority (and to - produce this result it would not be necessary to lose many) then bow are we ? The House of Commons no longer passes laws which the House of Lords rejects ; the Con stitution is no longer bound, nor legislation paralyzed. The two Houses do go on together ; where is your practical ne cessity for a change in the Peera g e ? May not the very question of thi s change, raised indiscreetly, avert and ob viate its necessity ?" What Mr. Bulwer proposes is this— " Well, then, you may say, will you leave the House of Lords as it is ?" " You cannot alter the House of Lords, and it is not wise or safe that you should, however you may think ill o it, unless there be a great majority in the country and the Commons .rho arc in favour of your doing so. All that I look to, then, is, retaining the majority you have got, and waiting under the influence of those circumstances which, if yon will but allow the time, must powerfully increase it. • "As to Peerage Reform itself, there may be wisdom in many of the theories respecting "The Peerage' now put forth. But the English never busied themselves much about governmental theories ; what they have always looked to is governmental effects. " Their quarrel with the House of Lords is not because that House is an hereditary body, but because it is a body that seems determinedly opposed to all popular government. If you wish for a reform in the Lords, you have only one wa y to effect it, the way they themselves are taking. But a good pilot waits till the tide is high before he attempts the harbour. You must wait.—Every fresh measure rejected is a new wave for your vessel. Three years ago, the man who spoke of Peerage Reform as likely to be carried in our time would have been thought a madman : three years hence, if the Lords pursue their present course, the man who contends against it will be deemed out of his senses. But this is not the case yet. The people of our country . arc not impetuous ; they do not learn, like the French, a
